	Giambattista Bodoni - LoveToKnow 1911
		GIAMBATTISTA BODONI (1740-1813), Italian printer, was born in 1740 at Saluzzo in Piedmont, where his father owned a printing establishment.
		The infante Don Ferdinand, afterwards duke of Parma, having established, about 1760, a printing-house on the model of those in Paris, Madrid and Turin, Bodoni was placed at the head of this establishment, which he soon rendered the first of the kind in Europe.
		The beauty of his typography, andc., leaves nothing further to be desired; but the intrinsic value of his editions is seldom equal to their outward splendour.

		Bodoni was appointed printer to the court of Parma in 1768.

		Bodoni typefaces can sometimes suffer from a particular kind of legibility degradation known as "dazzle" caused by the thick vertical lines.
		Bodoni forms the basis of a number of corporate identities, notably IBM.

		Giambattista Bodoni (1740-1813) was called the King of Printers and the Bodoni font owes its creation in 1767 to his masterful cutting techniques.
		Bodoni's influence on typography was dominant until the end of the 19th century and even today inspires new creations.
		Working with this font requires care, as the strong emphasis of the vertical strokes and the marked contrast between the fine and thick lines lessens Bodoni's legibility, and the font is therefore better in larger print with generous spacing.
